First place was a hard decision for the judges between Marcell and Santino. Marcell took a lot of risk with tricks like flip manny, flip 50-50 on the downrail and nollie heel 50-50 on the ledge, but Santino's transition skills let him flow through the park more effortlessly on his way to tre flips down the stairs and bluntslide flip out on the flatbar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here the results of the <a href="https://theboardr.com/results/9082/Best-Foot-Forward-Wien-Qualifiers" target="_blank">Qualifiers</a> & <a href="https://theboardr.com/results/9081/Best-Foot-Forward-Wien-Finals" target="_blank">Finals</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><strong>Pictures & Videos</strong></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dvMbfcoCs6Ox99n3atCBTGLhZcdLoL8x" target="_blank">Pictures</a> to download.</div><div>Photocredits: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/philippcarlriedl/" target="_blank">Philipp Carl Riedl</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hen.ri.k/" target="_blank">Henrieke Ibing</a></div><div>Blue Tomato Recap Video – can be found <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_JuffASZl/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are also happy about the participation of the Blue Tomato Teamrider in Vienna, Linz, Leoben, Innsbruck, Regensburg and Karlsruhe.</div><div><br /></div><div>We say THANK YOU to all skaters, visitors and partners who were there and are looking forward to the next Best Foot Forward Europe tour stop in Maribor on 14th of May!</div><div><br /></div><div>More information about the upcoming tour stops can be found <a href="https://www.blue-tomato.com/en-GB/blue-world/skate/best-foot-forward-tour-europa/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bestfootforwardeurope/" target="_blank">@bestfootforwardeurope</a></div><div>#bestfootforwardeurope</div>
